From Elite Politics to Grassroots Engagement: A New Strategy for Chinese Firms’ Overseas Expansion

Amid the current vicissitudes of globalization and the profound shifts in the global environment, Chinese enterprises’ international expansion strategies are beset with challenges. Their erstwhile strategies succeeded for the straightforward reason that close political ties with the upper echelons of host-country governments readily secured access to resources, markets, and policy incentives.

Offshore Renminbi-backed Stablecoins: Opportunities and Challenges

On August 1, 2025, Hong Kong’s “Stablecoin Ordinance” will take effect, marking China’s gradual participation in the stablecoin market and its exploration of how to use Hong Kong, an offshore financial center, to promote the internationalization of the RMB through stablecoins.

The Interactions of Customer Reviews and Price and Their Dual Roles in Conveying Quality Information

This paper discusses an analytical model for assessing how customer reviews and price can influence market signalling for experience goods with uncertain quality, especially when there is selection bias. The study reveals that reviews, which often are not neutral but reflect selection bias, may benefit consumers by encouraging lower prices and more effective quality signalling. The model highlights the complex role of review bias and how this bias can enhance market efficiency and welfare through strategic interactions between sellers and consumers.

Excess return volatility is positively associated with bond fund ownership, and this pattern is more pronounced among funds conducting intensive liquidity management. Evidence suggests the COVID-19 Treasury market turmoil, attributed to intensified liquidity management, was an unintended consequence of the 2017 Liquidity Risk Management Rule.
